The plaque reads "This building was Las Vegas' cultural center for many years. Its 700 seat auditorium and elegant Spanish motif lobby were used films, plays, music recitals, vaudeville shows, high school graduations and other special events." The El Portal Theatre or The Gateway Theatre opened on June 21, 1928. This place is older than the actual Freemont experience.
